Illegal 10-Meter Operation:
A contributor states, "I was an over the road truck driver and I have to say that I am amazed at the availability and demand for illegal import 10m radios readily supplied and modified at any CB shop around a truck stop. Recently I have been monitoring a trucking company on 28.425 doing regular business near the St Louis area. Many nights I hear drivers talking regularly around 29.6 MHz from Ohio to Missouri. How common is? It seems not a lot is ever done about out of band operation unless you are running a cab company out of New York. I would have to say 8 out of 10 trucks I saw on the road had a 10-meter radio running inside, and they weren't hams. What can be done to stop this?"
